Forty seven contributors to this attractive soft bound volume present the latest views on the management of this endemic infection of Latin America. It is the latest of a valuable series of Brazilian monographs and essential to students of this subtle infection which influences most aspects of medical practice. Relevant today and with much new information on wonders how it will stand in the year 2050. Will Latin America succeed in throwing off this transmission burden by adequate vector control? This is a matter more of politics and finance than medicine. WHO and PAHO are playing a vital role at this time.
